And life is a happy song
How we laugh at care
And sing as we roll along

Though December comes your way
For you the birds will sing
And the buttercups come peeping through the snow
You'll be young, you'll be in love your whole life through
Just as young, and more in love, then, as the stars
And each happy scene
Will be evergreen
As the sweetest morning in June
When you've got a little springtime in your heart
When you've got a little springtime in your heart
You can laugh at all the wintry winds that blow
Though December comes your way
For you the birds will sing
And the buttercups come peeping through the snow
You'll be young, you'll be in love your whole life through
Just as young, and more in love, then, as the stars
And each happy scene
Will be evergreen
As the sweetest morning in June
When you've got a little springtime in your heart
